Dr. Singh is Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at University of California Davis. She earned her MD at Michigan State University and her MS at University of Michigan. She completed her combined residency training in Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. After two years of T32 postdoctoral training at Stanford’s Center for Interdisciplinary Brain Sciences Research, she joined Stanford's professoriate, where she has conducted family studies integrating neuroimaging, cognitive, genetic, behavioral, peripheral biomarker data characterizing risk for and resilience from developing bipolar disorder. Dr. Singh's work has a three-fold mission: 1) to investigate the origins and pathways for developing psychiatric disorders that start during childhood and in processes that protect and preserve function after symptom and disorder onset; 2) to recruit, train, and sustain the next generation of basic, translational, and clinical researchers in psychiatry; and 3) to measure and evolve clinical care in ways that lead to better outcomes. Taking a translational medicine approach, Dr. Singh’s research aims to address unmet clinical needs through bridging fundamentals in science to clinical practice. She applies cutting edge research strategies to optimize existing therapeutic targets through innovations in trial design, investigations of placebo response, and pursuit of novel therapeutic targets through reverse and forward translation, fast-fail clinical trials, and direct modulation of key brain regions using transcranial magnetic stimulation and real-time neurofeedback.
